Provision will be made of essential facilities in primary schools, including at least two reasonably large rooms that are usable in all weather, and the necessary toys, blackboards, maps, charts, and other learning material.

At least two teachers, one of whom a woman should work in every school, the number increasing as possible to one teacher per class. A phased drive, symbolically called operation black board will be undertaken with immediate effect to improve primary schools all over the country. Government, local bodies, voluntary agencies and individuals will be fully involved. Construction of school buildings will be the first charge on N.R.E.R and R.L.E.G.P. funds.
